Wake up to the song of birds announcing a new dawn amidst the cool highland air. Look over a carpet of green reaching out to dense forest below, stretching as far as the eye can see. Here elephants have followed migratory paths for hundreds and thousands of years. See if you can spot them from your bedroom window.
